Which statement is true?
- A.
  
  This Bunsen burner has the safety flame
- B.
  
  This Bunsen burner has the heating flame
- C.
  
  This Bunsen burner has the cooking flame
Correct Answer
B. This Bunsen burner has the heating flame

Explanation
The correct answer is "This Bunsen burner has the heating flame" because a Bunsen burner typically has two types of flames - a safety flame and a heating flame. The safety flame is a small, non-luminous blue flame used when the burner is not in use or when a low heat is required. The heating flame, on the other hand, is a larger, luminous blue flame used for heating purposes. Therefore, if the Bunsen burner is being used for heating, it would have the heating flame.
